Region used for material orientation assignment can also be used in meshing a part. Here is an example of messing a part using C3D8R element.

Assuming the part name is partName and the whole entity has a cell set Set-cell, here comes the code to mesh this part for explicit solver,

model = mdb.models[modelName]
part = model.parts[partName]

# Delete previous mesh
part.deleteMesh()

# seed on all edges
e = p.edges
pickedEdges = e[:]
p.seedEdgeBySize(edges=pickedEdges, size=0.0003, deviationFactor=0.1,
    minSizeFactor=0.1, constraint=FINER)

# Element type settings
elemType1 = mesh.ElemType(elemCode=C3D8R, elemLibrary=EXPLICIT,
    kinematicSplit=AVERAGE_STRAIN, secondOrderAccuracy=ON,
    hourglassControl=DEFAULT, distortionControl=DEFAULT)
elemType2 = mesh.ElemType(elemCode=C3D6, elemLibrary=EXPLICIT,
    secondOrderAccuracy=OFF, distortionControl=DEFAULT)
elemType3 = mesh.ElemType(elemCode=C3D4, elemLibrary=EXPLICIT,
    secondOrderAccuracy=OFF, distortionControl=DEFAULT)

# mesh control
pickedRegions = p.cells # or p.cells[:] # or p.sets['Set-c'].cells[:]
# p.setMeshControls(regions=pickedRegions, algorithm=MEDIAL_AXIS)
p.setMeshControls(regions=pickedRegions, algorithm=ADVANCING_FRONT)

# Element type assignment
pickedRegions = p.sets['Set-c']
p.setElementType(regions=pickedRegions, elemTypes=(elemType1, elemType2,
    elemType3))

# Mesh it 
part.generateMesh()

There are other parameters to be set according different requirements, of course. This is just what I used in most of my simulations.©
